Your Own Secret Garden in the City. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled beside a protected urban forest, this beautifully updated 4BR/3BA home feels like a hidden retreat. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, offering the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and modern living. Step outside and discover what truly sets this home apart: an extraordinary backyard oasis designed to be enjoyed year-round. Wander among fruit trees, harvest fresh herbs, and grow your own vegetables in raised beds filled with organic soil. Multiple seating areas invite you to sip your morning coffee, host summer dinners, or simply relax while watching hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and songbirds enjoy the thoughtfully curated habitat. It’s not just a backyard—it’s your own private urban sanctuary. Inside, the home is equally inviting. The remodeled kitchen opens seamlessly to the main living spaces for effortless entertaining and everyday living. A formal dining room offers flexibility for gatherings and game nights. The main level also includes a bedroom and full bathroom, providing an ideal setup for guests, remote work, or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful escape w/its own ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom w/laundry provide plenty of room for everyone. Solar panels help offset utility costs, making this home as efficient as it is beautiful. When you’re ready to venture out, Madison South offers the best of both worlds. Explore nearby Rocky Butte Natural Area, enjoy walks through Hancock Park, grab dinner or drinks along Sandy Boulevard, or experience the seasonal magic of The Grotto’s renowned holiday light displays. With easy access to downtown Portland, Highway 205, you’ll enjoy the convenience of city living while coming home to a place that feels worlds away. A true garden retreat, and gathering place all wrapped into one. [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10011751]
